Teeth, Pee and Headaches

I realized this morning that I should probably be watching Mary when she brushes her teeth to make sure she brushes everywhere. She took her brush out of her mouth and asked me if that was all. I’d only been nominally paying attention to her (as I was brushing my own teeth at the time), but I didn’t recall seeing her do the top teeth, so I asked her if she’d done those and she didn’t have a clue. Really, I should have thought of this before. I mean, if she can’t remember where she has washed in the shower, how can she remember what she has brushed?

Her urine has been really cloudy for over a week. The visiting nurse had a sample tested last Friday, but there wasn’t anything there. That was his last visit, so if I want her tested again, I’ll need to take her in to the doctor’s office. I called to see if I could just bring her by on Monday—the line is always busy, busy, busy on Monday, so I know I won’t be able to call then. Well, they’ve taken the day off, for Derby I assume.

I think I’d also like to talk to the doctor about my migraines. They’re getting so that they last three or four days. Excedrin takes away about 90 percent of the pain but the other symptoms stay—the nausea, pain in the back and neck, “heisse Hunger,” as they say in German (basically the munchies). Not to mention the way my feet and hands hurt. I wish a reflexologist weren’t so expensive!

Mary has lain down for a rest. She looked so tired. I’m certain she has an infection.
